Shetland (also known as Shetland Islands) is a great place to live for those who love spending their time in nature, offering up just about any outdoor activity you might want to take part in on any given day. The landscapes are impressive, you’ll be surrounded by wildlife, and if you’re interested in natural history, you won’t be able to find a better place to live than in Shetland. Shetland is home to lots of artists including writer, Rachael Blyth and actor Steven Robertson. The area fosters a strong community of welcoming people, always ready to greet newcomers with a warm smile. The locals are fond of their heritage and culture, as well as of the natural beauty their home has to offer. On top of that, they truly value everyone’s positive contribution to the community.

Between the social services, childcare and education industry, there are a lot of ways to get involved within the Shetland community and make a positive impact. Whichever you decide to be suitable for you, you’ll have the chance to get to know the community members of Shetland and make a real impact.

Many of the roles you'll find will be posted by the Shetlands Islands Council. The Shetland Islands Council have a strong history of welcoming people and cultures from across the globe and this is as evident today as it is from the island's' rich archaeology.
